(14)When creditor can vote.-in the case of a meeting of creditors held under section 287 or of any adjournment thereof a person shall not be entitled to vote as a creditor unless he has duly lodged with the Company Liquidator not later than the time mentioned for that purpose in the notice convening the meeting, a proof of the debt which he claims to be due to him from the company. In the case of other meetings of creditors, a person shall not be entitled to vote as a creditor unless he has lodged with the Company Liquidator a proof of the debt which he claims to be due to him from the company and such proof has been admitted wholly or in part before the date on which the meeting is held: Provided that this Rule and the next four following Rules shall not apply to a meeting of creditors held prior to the meeting of creditors under section 287: Provided further that these Rules shall not apply to any creditors or class of creditors who by virtue of these Rules or any directions given thereunder are not required to prove their debts, or to any voluntary 25

26 liquidation meetings. (15) Cases to which creditors may not vote. - A creditor shall not vote in respect of any unliquidated or contingent debt or any debt the value of which is not ascertained, nor shall a creditor vote in respect of any debt on or secured by a current bill of exchange or promissory note held by him unless he is willing to treat liability to him thereon of every person who is liable thereon antecedently to the company, and against whom no order of adjudication has been made, as a security in his hands, and to estimate the value thereof, and for the purposes of voting, but not for purposes of dividend, to deduct it from his proof. (16)When secured creditor can vote. - (i) For the purposes of voting at a meeting, in a winding-up by the Tribunal, a secured creditor shall, unless he surrenders his security, state in his proof the particulars of his security, the date when it was given and the value at which he assesses it, and shall be entitled to vote only in respect of the balance due to him, if any, after deducting the value of his security. (ii) For the purposes of voting at any voluntary liquidation meeting, a secured creditor shall, unless he surrenders his security, lodges with the liquidator, or where there is no liquidator, at the registered office of the company, before the meeting, a statement giving the particulars of his security, the date when it was given and the value at which he assesses it, and shall be entitled to vote only in respect of balance due to him, if any, after deducting the value of his security. (17)Effect of voting by a secured creditor.-if a secured creditor votes 26

27 in respect of his whole debt he shall be deemed to have surrendered his security, unless the Tribunal on application is satisfied that the omission to value the security was due to inadvertence.

(19) Admission or rejection of proofs for purposes of voting.-the chairman shall have power to admit or reject a proof for the purposes of voting, but his decision shall be subject to appeal to the Tribunal. If he is in doubt whether a proof shall be admitted or rejected, he shall mark it as objected to and allow the creditor to vote subject to the vote being declared invalid in the event of the objection being sustained.
